Psychadelic rock nutters Yeah Yeah Yeahs are set to unleash their fourth studio album entitled ‘Mosquito’ on April 15th. In a statement about the album, singer Karen O said:
We would love for this music to make our fans feeeeel something, for it to stir some shit up inside of them, whatever that may be. SO much feeling went into this record, it was the rope ladder thrown down into the ditch for us to climb up and dust ourselves off. I hope others can climb up it too; we’re excited to share the good vibes.
We took a more playful, LO-FI approach to songwriting. Much of the music was demoed in our little basement studio in Manhattan with drum machines, a shitty sample keyboard and tons of delay – which we called the soup. I think this record has more moodier and tripped-out songs than you’ve ever heard from us. You might catch some roots reggae and minimalist psychedelia influences in there.
Safe to say that if they think it’s weird – weird is what it’s going to be. You can check out the trailer from the band below and a deluxe pre-order is available here
